Synopsis:
The Dark Knight of Gotham City confronts a dastardly duo: Two-Face and the Riddler. Formerly District Attorney Harvey Dent, Two-Face incorrectly believes Batman caused the courtroom accident which left him disfigured on one side; he has unleashed a reign of terror on the good people of Gotham. Edward Nygma, computer-genius and former employee of millionaire Bruce Wayne, is out to get the philanthropist; as The Riddler he perfects a device for draining information from all the brains in Gotham, including Bruce Wayne's knowledge of his other identity. Batman/Wayne is/are the love focus of Dr. Chase Meridan. Former circus acrobat Dick Grayson, his family killed by Two-Face, becomes Wayne's ward and Batman's new partner Robin the Boy Wonder.Batman Forever is easily the best entry in the series next to the original. It's obvious a lot different in tone compared to Tim Burton's original vision, but director Joel Schumacher takes it and makes it his own. The result is an astonishing gorgeous looking film. The plot centers around Batman/Bruce Wayne taking in a young charge named Dick Grayson, whose family was killed by evil villain Two Face (Tommy Lee Jones). Before you know it, Two Face has teamed up with a nutcase named Edward Nygma (Jim Carrey) who transforms himself into The Riddler, who has concocted a machine that'll take the life out of people. Far fetched?. Yes indeed. Dick Grayson finds out Bruce's true identity and wants to become part of the team. Val Kilmer is a decent Batman. He definitely looks more the part than Michael Keaton. He was a worthy choice. Jim Carrey does what Jim Carrey does best. He's manic and all over the place. The best, however, is Tommy Lee Jones. He really brings his nasty character to full, colorful life. Chris 'O' Donnell and Nicole Kidman are both equally plain and not interesting. Schumacher throws in gadget after gadget and colorful scene after colorful scene. It was a nice change of pace from Burton's gloomy Gotham City. All in all, this is one rip snorting, splashy, comic book adventure that's destined to please fans!. This film is colorful fun. A welcome break from the doom and gloom of the previous two.
